The patch has no impact on the base system, it only allows the flash 
player to be used _from ports_, and the linuxplugin port already has a 
big caveat for version 7 flash player.

A native FreeBSD flash player is not going to happen any time soon, and 
people are already using flash version 8 (for which there's no way to be 
used on FreeBSD).
